[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain:

1) Why did FCPS sign this voluntary agreement?

2) Why was FCPS singled out for an OCR investigation?  What happened in FCPS to special education students from 2020-2022 was not terribly unique.

I do not understand the dynamic and politics of the settlement at all.  [/quote]

They picked a few large school districts in the US for this investigation.  [b]School districts all over the US did WAAAAAAY less than FCPS did but because we're big and always in the news, we got singled out.[/b]  FCPS was following the guidance they were given by VDOE but someone decided that wasn't good enough.

where is this data? it is hard to do less than nothing.[/quote]

Yeah, okay...the teachers did nothing.  My kids were online every, single day with their teachers learning the curriculum.  My child who receives special education services was pulled into small groups online just like she would have been had she been in person.  She got her accommodations and she got instruction.  You people who keep saying the teachers did nothing are flat out lying.  I simply do not believe you.  I understand that some related services such as speech and OT got the shaft, particularly since it's hard to provide those services virtually.  But do not lie and say your kid literally got no instruction for a year.  [/quote]

So do you think the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Education just made this up that special ed services were not given? I am confused.

DP, I think the office could have picked any school district and gotten the same findings, they just choose a large on that is in the news. [/quote]

they have made judgements against several. They do actually have to do due-diligence and make sure it is true. FCPS usually avoids publicity like this because there are top lobbyists working for them and they have lots of lawyers. [/quote]

Why didn’t FCPS fight it?  It seems like the school system in Ohio who was also in the cross hairs of OCR is fighting.

They seemed to put so much energy into fighting parents at every turn. Why roll over and play dead to OCR?[/quote]

Bad publicity[/quote]

I don’t buy it.  Something does not add up.  [/quote]
